Vibrations

[tintin82]

Hi all,

Recently finished my water cooling build which i love, however one of the downsides is that its so quiet i can hear all the little annoying noises inside the case. The most annoying noise is the hard drives vibrating that resonates through the case.
I have 2 Samsung F3 1TB mounted in a Haf-X.

Anyone have any tips on how to reduce the vibration? I was thinking of going down the elastic band mounting route, but dont want my case to look pants with bits of band tied everywhere.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Won't always look pants if you do it with decent materials. The top drive is actually a Samsung F3 1TB which I found vibrated even through the original P1183 silicone mounts. It made a thrumm thrumm noise thatw as audible across the room. Now the vibration has gone, or at least is now so subdued I don't notice it.

Anyway there's already a sticky thread with some more details
